Optical-transition Clocks with Micro-Fabricated Frequency Combs for Performance Beyond the Standard Quantum Limit
Abstract
We have achieved world-record advances in atomic clocks, including the demonstration of the world's most stable/precise atomic clock with a stability below 1 part in 10^17, a precision in the one part in 10^16 range in 1 second, elimination of the Dick effect by operating two clocks simultaneously, development of the first quantum degenerate gas based optical lattice clock in a three dimensional lattice, development of a clock system that can operate below the standard quantum limit via entanglement, and development of the worlds most stable clock lasers, with laser linewidth approaching 10 mHz.
